Chinese Craving

It is such a boring weekend..I have to finish the order from the clients..It is actually my part time work,earn a little pocket money?..haha...I remember i learned this few years ago..from my brother..chinese craving..e..means craving on the stone and form the words..it was actually a kind of stamp from chinese traditional...We always use it in calligraphy..It look easy to crave..but actually it contain a lot of deep knowledge behind..For example, it contain 7 type of knife skill to crave the stone.If u careless,it might broke the stone..although it was a little broken..but u have to redo..what a such tough work right?..So the only way be careful..haha..when I do this..it examines my patient and skill..I think this is interesting because it actually using calligraphy in 'Qin' dynasty. The shapes of those words are always in a vertical rectangle. And those lines is very thick and hard.
It give me some idea that I can try different things in my typography. Different of lines and shape can change feeling and expression giving by a typography.:)
